Product analyst notes

How to think about this contract

Why it can stand out

  • Compact strategy menu — S&P 500 plus J.P. Morgan Mozaic II — makes this an easier contract to model and compare versus FIAs that bundle four or five proprietary indices.
  • A.M. Best A+ from a top-tier national carrier with three-agency coverage (Moody's A1, S&P A+) — the strength view does not depend on a single rating.
  • Wide free-withdrawal allowance — generous penalty-free liquidity for a 7-year FIA.
  • Fixed-rate option in the strategy menu alongside the indexed strategies — gives buyers a clear floor option without leaving the contract.

What to confirm

  • The premium minimum is a meaningful threshold — not designed for small first-time annuity buyers. Confirm the exact figure in the carrier's filing.
  • No optional GLWB rider and no built-in PIV income mechanism — accumulation-only product; buyers shopping primarily for lifetime income should look at a different Nationwide product.
  • Narrower strategy menu than Peak — no MSCI EAFE or Morgan Stanley 3D option here. Buyers wanting wider proprietary-index choice would find more optionality in Peak or Peak 10.
  • Death benefit details, MVA terms, and bailout rates aren't always shown on this page — confirm contract-level mechanics with the carrier before purchase.

Not ideal for

Buyers who need lifetime income from a rider, anyone unable to meet the six-figure premium minimum, anyone wanting MSCI EAFE or other broader proprietary-index choices (look at Peak or Peak 10), or buyers who can't lock funds up for the 7-year surrender period.

Common questions about Summit

Are current crediting rates published for Summit?

No. The current product feed publishes contract and liquidity facts for Summit, but no current indexed or fixed crediting strategies. Historical rates are not substituted. Confirm any new rate offering directly with the carrier.

When can I access my money without a surrender charge?

Up to 10% of your account value each year is penalty-free. The scheduled surrender charges run 7 years; after that the surrender-charge schedule ends. Bonus vesting, market value adjustments when applicable, and other contract rules can still affect the amount available. The Liquidity tab of the analyzer shows the year-by-year surrender charge.

Contract notes from product data

Liquidity terms

Why access rules deserve as much attention as rates

A fixed indexed annuity can preserve more control than an income-only contract, but access is still governed by the surrender schedule, free-withdrawal terms, and waiver language. Those details are where many product comparisons become more meaningful than a simple rate list.

  • 10%/yr free withdrawal
  • 7 surrender years
  • Nursing home waiver
  • Terminal illness waiver

Verification note
